Sustain Charlotte celebrates 2018 accomplishments

This year has been jam-packed with events, advocacy, and wins for our community, and Sustain Charlotte has been right in the thick of it. For our December Grow Smart CLT event, we wanted to share everything our staff, volunteers, and supporters have made happen to advance smart growth during 2018. To start, we went back through each of the topics we covered during the Grow Smart CLT event series (you can find links to all the recaps at the bottom of this page) and updated attendees on how their actions have moved those issues forward in the time since we hosted the event.

We were also thrilled to be able to debut our 2018 highlights reel video and “About Us” video, both fresh off the cutting room floor. If you want to get a taste of what we’ve been doing this year, check out the highlights reel here. And to learn more about who we are as an organization and how we advance our mission of creating vibrant, equitable, and sustainable communities for generations to come, watch our “About Us” video here.

Special thanks to Free Range Brewing’s head brewer, Jason, for hosting a free beer tasting during our Members-Only early entry, and for donating the space to us. Thank you to Rivendell Farms of the Carolinas for sponsoring our food, and to Alternative Chef for catering, as well as Crown Town Compost for helping make the event zero-waste.
